Our Take (by Kerine Wint)

Set in the Monsterversethe same shared universe that King Kong, Godzilla, and their respective films inhabitSkull Island follows a group of shipwrecked travelers who find themselves stranded on the mysterious titular island, which they soon find out is home to a variety of prehistoric creatures, including the mighty Kong.

Skull Island, the series, delivers wholesome relationships and touching character growth in the face of imminent danger, while also offering exciting action scenes, eye-popping visuals, and amusing jokes that are well-served by voice acting. It’s an easy, fun watch that is sure to appeal to fans of the Monsterverse, as well as fans of animated adventure series.

More about it

What happens

A group of shipwrecked characters must survive on the mysterious island of Skull Island, home to a variety of prehistoric creatures, including the mighty Kong.

What sets it apart

The dialogue and humor in Skull Island are easily the best parts of the series. The conversations flow well, and the sarcastic and dry quips are genuinely funny. The voice acting shines with new talent melding well with veterans Phil LaMarr, Mae Whitman, and Benjamin Bratt.

TL;DR

When rocks start to attack and prehistoric turtles come out of the woodwork…it's probably time to leave the island.
